OMG, this story! It's so fresh on the brain that I can't get the words out. We are warned of the unexpected surprises. And they didn't lie. Wowza. I'm still shocked by some of it. This is definitely a fun read that is a must-read. I enjoyed every bit of it. It definitely keeps you on your toes because you don't know what other twists will be revealed.

Sammy wakes up in the hospital to discover the man she loves is in the hospital bed next to hers…but his pregnant girlfriend is by his side.
We’re taken back 60 days earlier to single mom Sammy encountering two fantastic men. Gavin is an impressive and handsome business man who lavishes her with compliments and charm, and seems intent on dating her. Noah is a super hot and attentive doctor that she has known for awhile who seems to genuinely care for Sammy and her sons, but has never made a move.
As time moves forward, Sammy is not convinced either man can handle her particular brand of chaos with two wild sons, but one man proves to be there for Sammy when she really needs it. Just in time for her to fall in love, a major plot twist throws a wrench in Sammy’s life…like usual.
——————————————
Things I really loved about this book- I thought Noah and Sammy had amazing chemistry. It was clear from the beginning that he was the one for her. They seemed comfortable with each other, and that they actually liked being around each other. I liked that he let her take the lead and I liked that she felt safe with him. I was a big fan of the sequencing of the book. Part one Sammy. Part two Noah. Part three both. It is so enjoyable to read a book with characters around my age!

An issue I had was that the miscommunication trope was strong with this book. Lots of quick and easy things could have been cleared up with simply stopping and asking a question or two. Literally avoiding being hit by a cab for one.

The I love yous seemed a little rushed. I get that Noah has supposedly liked her for months and months, but for Sammy it was quick. I would have liked to see more family interaction between all of them kids and all before the I love yous.


All in all liked this one, but it’s more of a 3.5⭐️ rounded up for me.

This was the first Max Monroe book that I have read, ever! I was expecting more of a love triangle, rather than the way that it played out, but I really did enjoy how it ended! This was truly a great read and had a really interesting plot line, truly unlike anything I have ever read before. Single Parent with a friends to lovers trope, always a blast.

The blurb about the book seemed to be interesting and this story did not let down in the twists and overall crazy that it takes you through, with a great happily ever after at the end!

Cluelessly Yours by Max Monroe is a beautiful juxtaposition of witty moments and heartaching twists. Sammy and Noah made me laugh and swoon but also the feelings hit me hard, almost unexpectedly. It was full on chaos, in a sweet way. I was holding onto my heart as the story changed directions but at the end, it was a heartwarming happily ever after.

Sammy Baker has a lot on her plate. Out of a messy divorce from a good for nothing husband ( even worse father), trying to be the best mother to two adorable but extremely naughty young boys and also trying to manage her tumultuous feels for their good family friend, ever charming, super charismatic Dr. Noah Phillips. Just when they seem to find a way to date..a pregnant ex girlfriend and an almost deadly cab accident derailed everything. But trust me, they will find their HEA.

I love how the chapters are equally divided between Noah and Sammy's POV. Sammy is so funny and kind and loving. Life has thrown a lot of challenges at her and she is fighting her best. The shenanigans of her boys will make you double in laughter. The authors have perfectly portrayed the struggles of a single mother. She has some vulnerability too and that's why despite of her sister's constant matchmaking she didn't want to believe that Noah wants her. Few misunderstanding and her emotional baggage created some barriers but thankfully, there was not a lot of drama. Noah is simply amazing. He really has no flaws. He has fallen for Sammy for a while now but he also senses that she needs time and space to reciprocate. Meanwhile he acted as a strong but silent support system. He is gorgeous and has a big heart and he is just the kind of book boyfriend who gives you goosebumps or butterflies in stomach or heart eyes. The twist was just heart shattering. I was like ok this is supposed to be a rom com, who invited daddy angst? But it was all solved pretty quick. But the near death experience and the momentary heartbreak consolidated it for Sammy and Noah.

Ps I adore Brooke so much! The perfect-est of perfect sister ever.

I reviewed an early copy voluntarily

I’m a huge Max Monroe fan so I jumped at the chance to read this. Cluelessly Yours picks up at a key moment in Accidental Attachment. This time we get that scene from Brooke’s sister Sammy’s perspective. It should be noted you don’t have to read Brooke’s book first. Both books are stand alones.

Sammy is a newly divorced single mom with two very spirited boys that take up all of her time and energy. She’s also just moved to the city and carries tremendous amounts of pressure to be a good parent and often feels like a failure. Sammy doesn’t think she can dedicate time to dating so she’s closed herself off from all opportunities. Sammy has suddenly found herself caught between the attention of two men. One a handsome, kind doctor who is friends with her sister and a suave businessman she met at work. Both charm her but one really wins her heart. One day Sammy wakes up in the hospital next to what she thought was her great love. But a pregnant woman is next to him claiming to be his girlfriend. What exactly is going on?

This book had a couple twists and turns. A few I figured out and one I didn’t see coming at all. Epic twist! I love when that happens. I wasn’t sure if I’d like the 3 sections divided into her perspective, his perspective and then split perspective. But I need to trust the authors process because it flowed perfectly. The writing was smart and funny, which any Max Monroe fan has come to expect. All of the characters were very likable and the book flowed seamlessly. I hope there’s another book coming. A certain friend (no spoilers) needs her redemption story.

Thanks to Max Monroe and NetGalley for the opportunity to review this.

Cluelessly Yours is the most recent book from author duo @authormaxmonroe it has the characters from previous books and I really enjoyed revisiting them. It can totally be read as a standalone but I do think you'd benefit more by reading the others first.

Sammy was such a great character. I really liked her. Noah was definitely swoon worthy. He knew what he wanted and he went after it. He wanted everything with Sammy including the kiddos. The characters are also over 40 and I truly found it refreshing to read.

Although this one wasn't as laugh out loud funny as the previous it was still enjoyable. I still found myself chuckling multiple times. I do think it was a bit drama heavy for me and the hesitation between both men kind of threw me off, but overall it was still a good read.

I am a Max Monroe fan and can't wait to see what they come up with next.

🎧 The narration by Sebastian York and Elizabeth Louise was on point. I really liked them for both characters, I do think they're what made me chuckle with their intonations and vocal expressions.

My first book by Max Monroe. I instantly liked the easy, fluent writing. Sammy was such a fun and relatable character! I liked this book so much more than I expected! I am not your average romance reader. But this was sooo good. I loved Sammy as a character and I really saw her struggles even if I have no clue personally what she’s going through. I loved this “love triangle” and the conflicting feelings. All in all a super enjoyable read with a lot of laughter and banter. Perfect to finish off a great year of reading!

Sammy is a single mom and struggles with her wild boys. She balances the guilt of being responsible on her own for their wellbeing, work and a sister that’s madly in love. She thinks she does not deserve happiness. Until not only one, but two men come along.

But nothing is as it seems and Sammy will wake up surprised and more confused than ever. Will she be able to find love?

I loved this story, the characters and the supporting ones as well. The story was so easy to read and I just love how, while there was a conflict, it resolved quickly and realistically, not drawn out. Sammy and Noah's relationship is so sweet and he just worships the ground she walks on, which I am a sucker for! If you enjoy a romance where the male main character falls for the girl first then this is for you! Highly recommend for a quick romance read with some spice!

Thank you to NetGalley and Max Monroe for allowing me to read an advanced copy of this story.

Another great romance with a twist by Max Monroe. Her stories always have humor, heart and spice!

Sammy Baker is a single mom to 2 young boys, her ex husband is pretty much out of her and her kids lives and she has just moved to NYC from Ohio to be closer to her sister and have a fresh start. Her life is a complete whirlwind and she has no time for herself much less to date. Yet somehow Sammy finds herself at the middle of a love triangle when 2 handsome men both start courting her. Who is the right one for her? What does her heart say?

Before she can even make her decision, some harsh words from one of the suitors tell her that is not the right man for her. As she lets her heart lead her, she is in for many bumps, betrayals and twists. Love the city atmosphere and the happy ending!

Many thanks to Netgalley and Max Monroe for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I really need to read more Max Monroe because they write the cutest dang stuff. I'm constantly smiling and laughing through their stories even when I'm an angsty mess because I hate love triangles. This story was just fantastic and I couldn't get enough.

I loved Sammy and her guy who shall not be named. When we find out that one of them screws her over in the prologue I found myself struggling over who to root for... Was it the handsome Dr with girls falling at his feet or the sweet businessman who seemed to be at her beck and call? It was a whirlwind of wild as we got down to the bottom of it, but I absolutely loved how it turned out.

I also adored having Brooke and Chase back and so present, I just love them and they played such a fun part of Sammy's story.

The audio was fantastic. I adore Sebastian York and loved new to me, Elizabeth Louise. The first part is narrated by Elizabeth and then the second part is narrated by one of the guys and then the third is narrated by both, which I thought was a fun set up.

Find yourself a doctor. That’s all. Jkjk. This book was so sweet. Might be my favorite of this series so far. Sammy the single mother & Noah is a bachelor doctor who become friends. Sammy’s meddling sister is fantastic too. This was a blast

4.5 Stars
Sammy and Noah's romance is finally here! Or is it??? It's hard to tell with the blurb and how Cluelessly Yours starts out. The prologue shook me and had me wondering what was going on and just who Sammy had fallen for. After reading it, I was in a rush to read and find out what was in store for Sammy. There were a lot of ups and downs for her, but she ended up in the best place. Her romance was sweet, funny, and a little crazy - just what I've come to expect from Max Monroe. I loved that Sammy's sister and Chase were there to help support her and her kids along the way.

I know I'm not really telling you anything about this book, but that's because I didn't know much other than the blurb going in and I ended up being surprised more than once. I had an inkling of how things would work out for Sammy in the end but didn't truly know what a ride she was going to take to get there. I recommend going in blind with this book and avoiding as many reviews as possible. I will say I am hoping there is a book for at least one side character coming.

Seems like this story has a lot of character point of views. I'm guessing this will be the new style of writing from now on.
This is a new to me author. I really liked this book.
However; I feel like that we could do without the F word. Sorry I find that offensive.
It was a fun and crazy love story
I think Sammy is my favorite character. I love how she just handles whatever comes her way including her 7 year old whom I just adored..He made me laugh at times but sometimes he made me mad for not behaving.
I'm giving this book 4 stars because of the foul language. No need for all that
My thanks to Netgalley for a copy of this book. I will recommend it to others who may enjoy it more.

Another great read by Max Monroe. Sammy is a divorced mom of 2 boys who has 2 guys, Gavin and Noah interested in her; This story navigates her crazy life and her falling for one of the men was a lot of fun.

Thank you NetGalley for the chance to read this book.

As a mother, you instantly relate to Sammy and her story draws you in. She just wants to be happy but feels like her hands are full as a single mother of two, but she deserves the world. Her sister Brooke is the perfect example of a pregnant, hormonal sister and I absolutely loved her. With no spoilers, I loved the story and the way it ended. I loved the bond and banter of the sisters, I loved all the dogs and side characters, but I loved loved loved the MMC ❤️

Amazing story, my first by Max Monroe and I cannot wait to look into more stories and read them now.

Max Monroe has a way with words. In the midst of unpredictable romance, irresistible characters, humor and deep emotion, love finds it's heart. Cluelessly Yours is a heartache that practically writes itself. It's life at it's messiest and romance at it's most endearing. The perfect book boyfriend finds his meet cute match.

Huge fan of Max Monroe's books so when I saw this one I knew I had to read it IMMEDIATELY. It's a stand-alone but I recommend reading ACCIDENTAL ATTACHMENT first because that one starts off with Sammy's sister's story and since Brooke (her sister) also has a huge presence in Cluelessly Yours I think you'd enjoy reading them both back to back and trust me, you won't want to put either one down.
Sammy is a single mom of two very wild boys. Her sister Brooke has been pushing for her to date her DR. friend Noah but Sammy felt he wasn't interested and has seen him out with different women so when a very good looking businessman (Gavin), who frequently makes reservations at the restaurant she manages, asks her out to dinner she decides to accept. A lot of things transpire between her and Gavin and her and Noah. She trusts her instincts and even after that there's still an unexpected twist at the end. I couldn't put it down and I know you won't be able to either. I highly recommend it!

Thank you to Max Monroe, Max Monroe LLC, and Netgalley for this ARC!

I really loved M&M's Accidental Attachment, so I was excited to hear that Sammy and her sons would be included in a follow up book. "Sammy Baker is a divorced, single mom trying to find her way again. With two boys and an absent ex-husband, she’s got the world on her shoulders and Legos under her feet."
TBH, after reading the blurb, I expected the plot to go in a different direction. For me, the story started a little slow, but the pace improved when Sammy decides on the right man for her. I enjoyed getting to catch up with previous characters from this series. The writing of duo Max Monroe is seamless and top notch! Overall, Cluelessly Yours was a great read and I highly recommend. I'm already looking forward to the next Max Monroe book!

Another effortlessly hilarious book by Max Monroe. This book gave me all the feels and had me cracking up, especially Brooke with her matchmaking! Sammy and Noah were exquisite together. Once Sammy got out of her head with trying to juggle being a mom and getting back out there, she realized Noah was perfect for her and the boys. They were both down to earth and for the most part drama free. The love was clearly shown throughout this book, it just took Sammy a bit to see it! Everybody needs a Noah in their life.

This book was amazing!! Another 5 star Max Monroe book. They are one of my favorite authors. The book was hilarious. I loved the Friends references.
I was shocked about Dale and Ashley. Lots of drama that made things interesting.
I was shocked when Noah and Sammy secretly eloped. Loved it. Great book as always and I can’t wait for the next book! I hope Kendall gets a book.
